The series Barbacane consists of several frottages (rubbings) using charcoal on white cotton paper. The barbacane is a Venetian building element found in many parts of the city. It s a stone cantilever that permits upper stories of buildings to overhang along a street without undue blockage of sunlight.

The series was made in 2018 during a residency at the Emily Harvey Foundation in Venice.
